Hammam Ritual Benefits

Hammam Ritual Benefits

The ancestral ritual represented by these heat baths would not have survived the ages and acquired its notoriety without having demonstrated its certain virtues.

For The Skin And Hair

The hammam, with its high temperatures and high humidity, allows the pores of the skin to open and free themselves of their impurities. After such a session, the epidermis is therefore thoroughly cleansed. A phenomenon that can be accentuated by using a scrub.

The exfoliation of the skin is a treatment that should be done monthly, ideally every skin cycle. In fact, to optimize the effectiveness of moisturizing creams and to boost cell regeneration for a new skin, it is necessary to remove the dead cells that accumulate and make the skin rough, dry and dull, even with hyperkeratosis (granular skin) or small pimples.

A little less claimed, but just as effective, the hammam provides the same benefits to our hair. Indeed, under the effect of the humidity, the scales of our hair open. This is the ideal time to have a scalp massage or a hair mask.

In the traditional hammam ritual, rhassoul, a volcanic clay rich in mineral salts with astringent, absorbing and softening virtues, is known to cleanse the body but also the scalp and thus to regulate the production of sebum.??

For Health And Sports Recovery

Relax Muscles, Relieve Stress & Activate Blood Circulation

The hammam produces a double relaxation effect. Firstly, it relaxes the body and then the mind. The humid heat allows the body to relax thanks to its vasodilating effects which relax the muscles, soothe aches and pains, relieve the joints, and eliminate tension. Once the body is relaxed, the mind follows.???

Before a relaxing massage, we recommend preparing the body with a 15-minute hammam session to prepare the body and skin to receive the massage oils with multiple virtues and to promote relaxation.?

After spending 15 minutes in the hammam, it is interesting to take a cold shower, or even an ice-cold one, especially for heavy legs.?

After an intensive sports session, the hammam will help recovery by relaxing the muscles and reactivating blood circulation. Indeed, if the hot water steam allows the blood vessels to dilate (vasodilatation), the cold-water firms them up (vasoconstriction). This stimulation is very good for blood circulation, hence the importance of taking cold showers after the hammam.

To Clear The Respiratory Tract

The humid heat associated with essential oils, particularly eucalyptus, helps to clear the bronchial tubes and to breathe better.

Eliminate Toxins And Cellulite

The hammam has detoxifying virtues. During these sessions under high temperatures, the body's perspiration mechanism is activated and allows all toxins to be eliminated. In addition, these sessions can help to expel water and bad fats that stagnate in our cells, so the hammam helps to fight against cellulite.
